Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Is The Bible More Violent Than The Quran? : NPR<\/a> – Listened to this interesting article on NPR last evening.<\/li>\n
  2. The death of Palm: \u201cWe no longer see any value in the company\u201d<\/a> – Well, folks have written Palm off before. But … as a long-time (though no longer current) user, it’s kind of sad.<\/li>\n
  3. Barnstorming the final frontier<\/a> – “This is beyond cool. This is fantastic!”<\/li>\n
  4. Dutch officials call Sheehan\u2019s theory blaming gay soldiers for the Srebrenica massacre \u2018complete nonsense.\u2019: Amanda Terkel<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Michael Steele Delivers Joe Wilson-Like Policy Analysis Of CBO Report: \u2018That\u2019s A Lie\u2019<\/a> – Right — “They’re liars (except when they give us numbers we want to use).”<\/li>\n
  6. Bachmann: \u2018I don\u2019t mean any disrespect\u2019 when I accuse the media of \u2018treason.\u2019<\/a> – Thus further devaluing the terms “respect” and “treason.” Well done, Michelle.<\/li>\n
  7. WellPoint Failed To Deliver Tens Of Millions Of Dollars It Promised To Help Uninsured Americans<\/a> – Ah, the joys of the for-profit insurance industry …<\/li>\n
  8. U.S. will undergo human rights scrutiny<\/a> – This is the right thing to do. Is the UNHRC a perfect body? No, but standing aloof from it doesn’t help. Will the report be politicized and used as a club by folks who have an axe to grind with the US? Sure. But if we can’t take the heat, we can’t criticize the condition of other peoples’ kitchens.<\/li>\n
  9. Marjorie Margolies – Democrats: Vote your conscience on health care<\/a> – This should be sent to every Democrat in the House. Money graf: “So cast the vote that you won’t regret in 18 years.” If your reason to be in Congress is not simply to get reelected, do what you think is in the best interest of your constituents, whether they agree or not.<\/li>\n
  10. Goofy Fox News poll questions<\/a> – I think this is called push polling, couching the question to get the response you want. But, then, Fox News really isn’t a news organization, so that’s hardly surprising.<\/li>\n
  11. Is Twitter losing its tweet-factor? | GDS Publishing<\/a> – I’m not surprised that Twitter’s growth has plateaued. That — and that it’s not the “hottest new trend among celebrities” — doesn’t mean it’s in decline, but that it’s maturing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
